🌟 Top Habits for Youthful, Healthy Skin
1. Daily Sunscreen Use (SPF 30+)
• Shields against UV damage (the #1 cause of aging).
• Prevents wrinkles, sunspots, and sagging.
✅ Use broad-spectrum SPF every day, rain or shine. Even while driving your car you get a lot of sun exposure!
2. Hydrate—Inside and Out
• Water + moisturizer = plump, smooth skin.
✅ Drink plenty of water and use hydrating skincare (like hyaluronic acid)
3. Healthy, Balanced Diet
• Antioxidants (vitamins C, E, A) fight free radicals.
• Omega-3s (from fish, flaxseed) support skin structure.
✅ Eat fruits, veggies, lean protein, and healthy fats.
4. Get Quality Sleep (7–9 Hours)
• Skin regenerates at night—boosts collagen and repairs damage.
✅ Stick to a regular sleep schedule and minimize blue light before bed.
5. Use Retinol
